Everything
in our world can be broken down to its base elements. The five senses are the
elements for interpreting and translating our experiences into information,
memory, and emotion. Our ideologies and theologies can be traced back to our
human needs, desires, and aspirations. However, it is the human identity of the
artists that takes these basic elements and transforms them into objects that
define our requirements to live and our passions to exist.

The
artist’s relationship with their material has always been at the foundations of
the creative process. Rooted in discovery, the ongoing challenge rests in
harnessing the inherent visual properties of a material by using its unique
aesthetic language in their art. These richly diverse emotional, spiritual and
intellectual concepts are manifested by developing the essential
characteristics of the materials within the artwork. As we delve into the
concepts and beliefs of the artist through experiencing their artwork, it can
open new doors in exploring avenues of awareness, expression and the discovery
of ourselves.
